Products from Rihanna's MAC cosmetics collection (WWD)
Fans of
Rihanna — and her red lips — rejoice! The singer just inked a major beauty deal with
MAC Cosmetics.
According to a
report in
WWD, the "no brainer" collab, as Rihanna called it, isn't just any ol' celebrity partnership, though. RiRi is launching multiple collections with the beauty brand this year, marking a first for MAC. (The brand typically only does one-off projects with celebs.)
“When you think of makeup, the brand that pops into your mind — for something legit — is MAC,” Rihanna said. “Whatever color you want, it’s like ‘Let’s go to MAC.’ I’ve been using MAC on tour for such a long time it was a natural fit for me. I have always loved makeup, and I always said that if I do it, I want to do it with a credible brand.”

The phases of the collab: There will be four collections rolling out during 2013.
The must-have product: Red lips and Rihanna are pretty much synonymous these days, which is why the singer's first product to launch will be a red lipstick called "RiRi Woo," named after, of course, her go-to color, "Ruby Woo." It'll have a blue-red base, a retro matte finish with moisturizer, and it was specially picked to flatter every skin tone — something Rihanna was adamant about.
When it launches: The "RiRi Woo" launch will coincide with her Diamonds Tour concert on May 4th and 5th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where MAC will open a pop-up shop. Afterwards, it'll be sold online, as will products from the second collection. The third line will be featured in brick-and-mortar stores this fall, followed by on-counter sales for holiday.
Total pieces in the collab: 31
